1. Percentages may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding error.
   
2. Providers may check as many target populations as apply.
   
3. Affected clients include those who are HIV negative as well as those with unknown HIV status.

5. Client counts are duplicated at the national and/or grantee level.
   
6. In 2002, HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau implemented the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recommendation that ethnicity and race data are to be collected separately. Due to the fact that Ryan White CARE Act data are aggregate at the grantee and national levels, these data are unable to be combined to determine the proportion of minority clients served.
   
7. The large percentage of clients for whom race was unknown is likely due to the change in federal reporting requirements to ask race and ethnicity questions separately. It is likely that large proportions of Hispanics do not identify with a race and are, therefore, reporting that their race is unknown.
   
8. Clients served include all individuals who had at least one visit for any eligible service during the reporting period.
   
9. "Other race” category includes Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native.

11. Housing information as reported in section 2 of the CADR describes the population served and does not imply CARE Act funding was used for housing.
    
12. Permanent housing includes apartments, houses, foster homes, long-term residence, and boarding houses as long as they are not time-limited.
    
13. Non-permanent housing includes homeless, as well as transient or transitional housing.
    
14. Institution includes residential, health care, and correctional facilities.
    
15. Providers report the medical insurance that provides the most reimbursement if a client has more than one source of medical insurance.

17. Case management services reference HIV positive clients only.
    
18. (*) Data reported in this table are based on valid reports only. Valid data are defined as providers reporting complete data for both the number of clients served and number of visits.
    
19. For each service type, the actual number of providers serving clients is higher. However, the average number of visits per client was calculated only for those providers with valid data for number of clients served and number of client visits. Providers may offer multiple services; thus, a provider may be included in more than one service category.
    
20. A client may only have one visit for each service per day. For residential substance abuse treatment, each day in a residence facility equals one visit.
    
21. Other facility includes substance abuse treatment centers, solo/group private medical practices, providers reporting for multiple fee-for-service providers, PLWHA coalitions, VA facilities, and providers reporting provider type as "other".
    
22. Other includes Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.
